Support Ave Maria Nursing Class of 2025 Pinning Ceremony

Hello everyone! My name is Tiahna Lowe and I am the president of the Nursing Club at Ave Maria University.

As seniors graduating from Ave Maria University on May 10, 2025 we must find numerous ways to fundraise for our Pinning Ceremony on May 9, 2025.

The Pinning Ceremony is a separate formal ceremony aside from the normal school graduation for senior nursing students. It is a prestigious nursing program organized ceremony and reception with friends, families, professors, priests, clinical preceptors, etc. and is the highest honor for a graduating nursing student. Receiving our pins is a symbol of an 'official send off' into transitioning into the nursing profession of each individuals choice.

With that being said, we have some fundraised money but are quite short of our goal still. Reasons we are short for ceremony costs include expenses such as flowers, gifts for faculty, food and graduation cake, decorations, and drinks for usually around 500 people.

Any donations would be extremely helpful and all of us in the Ave Maria Nursing Program Class of 2025 would feel extremely blessed and grateful for the support from the community and graduating student family members.

Thank you all for your time! God Bless!
